We treked out to northern CA for a family shower with my side of the family. It was a wonderful day with family and friends and we couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather.
Josh has been busy training for his half marathon, which paid off when he took nearly 7 minutes off his last half marathon time! I couldn't be prouder of his dedication and it certainly paid off!
This picture is misleading. The clock shows the time of day. He started at 6:30am, so his time was around 2h 14m. :)
Josh has been able to share the running love with a bunch of friends, which has been awesome!
Remie's anticipated arrival has coincided well with a pause in my research, so I was able to start my maternity leave. I have a list of things I'd like to get done while I'm sitting around waiting for something exciting to happen. So far I've gotten next to nothing accomplished, but I've had good reasons!
To begin with, we were registered for the first annual Color Run ABQ. No, I didn't run the 3.1 miles, but I did walk it with a group of friends. It was a blast to say the least. When we were at packet pickup, we stopped by the merchandise desk to see what they had, and the girl working the desk gave us a baby tee for Remie! Super sweet!
It was a mess, but it was fun! If it comes to your city, I can't recommend it enough!
Our friends Jen and Melissa were awesome enough to make a video of the day:
Today, the wonderful people at Josh's work threw us a surprise baby shower. Well, it was a surprise to me at least. It was such a great way to start my maternity leave!!
I think that's all the big items. We're about as ready as we're ever going to be for Remie to get here. Her room is set, we've got all the essentials covered, no we just wait.
My hope is that I will find a couple minutes here and there to update this with pictures and notes about all of our adventures into family-dom. We'll see how well that works out.. :D
